	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is joining with
	the Texas Association of Counties in recognizing April 15, 2015, as
	County Government Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The event is part of the April 2015 observance of
	National County Government Week sponsored by the National
	Association of Counties to provide citizens with an opportunity to
	learn more about county governments; and
	WHEREAS, The oldest form of local government in the United
	States, county government addresses many crucial issues; major
	responsibilities include building and maintaining roads,
	recreational facilities, and county airports, constructing and
	operating jails, operating the judicial system, maintaining public
	records, collecting property taxes, issuing vehicle registration
	and transfers, and registering voters; additionally, counties
	conduct elections and provide law enforcement and health and social
	services; and
	WHEREAS, There are 254 counties in Texas, and the dedicated
	individuals who serve our counties not only work diligently to meet
	the needs of residents without placing an undue burden on taxpayers
	but also commit themselves to finding solutions to problems that
	will benefit the Lone Star State; and
	WHEREAS, County officials and their representative
	organization, the Texas Association of Counties, truly merit
	special commendation for their countless contributions in behalf of
	all Texans; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor the state's county officials and employees
	for their service and welcome members of the Texas Association of
	Counties to the State Capitol on the occasion of County Government
	Day.
